General notes
ab22378 is not expected to work in standard western blots, under denaturing conditions, or in IHC on formalin-fixed tissue. To our knowledge, ab22378 will only stain frozen sections or fresh cells, and will only immunoprecipitate the antigen from cell lysates in mild detergents such as NP40 or Triton-X100.
This antibody clone is manufactured by Abcam.

Target
-
Function
Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in CD8A are a cause of familial CD8 deficiency (CD8 deficiency) [MIM:608957]. Familial CD8 deficiency is a novel autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsAll of the five most carboxyl-terminal cysteines form inter-chain disulfide bonds in dimers and higher multimers, while the four N-terminal cysteines do not. -
Cellular localization

Frozen sections from mouse skin (8 µm thick) were post-fixed in cold acetone at −20°C for 10 minutes then air dried at room temperature for 20 minutes. All sections were then washed three times with 0.05% PBS-Tween (PBST); then nonspecific antibody binding was blocked using 10% normal goat serum in PBST at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sections were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody. Primary antibody incubation was followed by three washes with PBST before addition of the secondary antibodies, which were incubated on the sections for 2 hours at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (200 ng/mL) for 10 minutes at room temperature. Finally, sections were rinsed with PBST, dehydrated through sequential alcohol washes and then cleared in xylene. Slides were mounted with DPX mounting medium.

The cells were incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab22378, 0.1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 4ºC. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H&L) (ab150157) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 4ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2b [RTK4530] (ab18541, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions.
Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
